That's all the action from the Women's Hundred from us today. Thank you for tuning in. Do join us again tomorrow for more action of cricket. Goodbye!

Player of the Match, Kira Chathli: "I had a few good games during the Blast, but in the Hundred, that's definitely my best game by far. I think they bowled really well up top, and I think our bowlers did as well. But once you gave yourself sort of a couple of balls, then it made it a little bit easier. It's disappointing to lose any game [against the Rockets], but we kind of focus on what we do really well as a team, and we want to play positive cricket. And there's no doubt in my mind that every member of our team backs me and everyone else to do their skill. [Expect an easy win] No, not at all. They've got a fantastic batting lineup. Our bowlers bowl really well, and we did well to put pressure on them and take all of their wickets."

Hypocaust: "London Spirit have had two 50 scores contributed by players without international caps this season (Kira Chathli " And Cordelia Griffith!

5:05 pm The London Spirit cruised to a comfortable, one-sided victory, securing their fourth win of the season and jumping to the top of the table. The Phoenix's chase got off to a shaky start when they lost the wicket of Voll in the second over. While Emma Lamb looked sharp with the bat, she was run out at the end of the Powerplay while attempting a second run. The home team failed to establish consistent partnerships, losing wickets in clusters. Ultimately, the Spirit's big target was too much for the Phoenix batters to handle, and their constant misfields and dropped catches on the field did not help their cause. In contrast, the Spirit were solid in their ground fielding and catching, which made a significant difference. Charlie Dean and Eva Grey were the bowling stars, both taking two wickets to secure the emphatic victory.

London Spirit won by 88 runs

Gray to Baker, OUT, What is happening out there? Fuller length ball on the stumps, plays off the front foot and under edged to short fine leg, sets off for a quick single straight away. Chathli collects it cleanly and sends a bullet throw towards the wicketkeeper. Baker is short of her ground, and that's the end of the Phoenix innings. Phoebe Brett injured her thumb earlier and was spotted with her hand in a sling. She will not be batting today, as anticipated.
